PLAY BY PLAY
The Bloodline is here!
Jimmy & Jey are still Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, and they’ve got their brother, Solo Sikoa, with them as they head to the ring. The Usos are getting ready to defend the titles this Friday against the New Day in a battle for history, but what’re they doing here tonight? The Usos get the mic and fans chant, “UCEY! UCEY!” Then they chant for “SAMI! SAMI!” Jey says, “Hey. The Bloodline is now in your city!” Jimmy says last Saturday at Crown Jewel, Roman Reigns SMASHED Logan Paul, and the Usos went to Fight Night and SMASHED the Brawling Brutes. If you weren’t there, just see this!
A picture is on the tron, and it shows the Bloodline standing tall together with fireworks. But that’s the past! The future is the Usos VS The New Day on SmackDown. New Day are the longest running tag team champs in WWE history. Fans chant, “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Jey agrees, they do rock. But after Friday, you’ll look at the NEW longest reigning tag team champions EVER! They the twos, and #WeThe- “It’s a New Day, yes it is!” The New Day is HERE! Kofi says to “Hold up hold up hold up.” They’re getting ahead of themselves. Back it up. First, congrats to the Usos on beating the Brutes at Crown Jewel.
Woods says, “Matter of fact, how y’all feeling?” Private jet lagged, not that the New Day knows about that. They’re in group three. Woods says he has a diamond medallion, two million miles, but regardless. “Ladies and gentlemen, in just four days, on Friday Night SmackDown, you will see the longest reigning W, W, E, World, Tag, Team, CHAMPIONS~… Defending our reign against the current WWE World Tag Team Champions, the Usos. But, but, listen to us when we tell you the truth about that. In the end, we will once again be champions. But more importantly, our reign of 483 DAYS as champions will stay intact.”
Fans rally up for Kofi on that, but Jimmy says, “Yeah, yeah, Kofi, Kofi.” Jey says it’s Kofi & The New Day, get it? Jimmy says they gave the New Day their props. One hell of a tag team. Breaking down barriers! Multiple time tag team champions! Booty O’s! Up Up Down Down, merchandise is lit, and they’re even on Netflix! Jimmy is proud of them. So is Jey. Isn’t Wilkes-Barre proud of them? Fans cheer for that. It must feel real good to be the second best tag team in WWE. Fans boo now, and Woods says, “Second best? What y’all fail to remember is that we still hold the record. That means you are chasing us.”
That means the Usos are chasing the guys who built this from the ground up. The guys who changed what tag team wrestling looks like. They’re chasing first generation superstars. “Y’all had people who were coddling you and holding your hand down the ramp, teaching you how to do this. Y’all got tryouts based on what your family members did before you! You built your legacies off the backs of your uncles, your cousins, your fathers, and your grandfathers while we built our legacies off our own backs!” The Usos say New Day doesn’t know the pressure they’ve been under. What do they know about pressure?! What they know about making a name for themselves coming from a family like the Usos?
The New Day’s never been in the ring with their dad! With their uncle! Y’know who they’ve been in the ring with? Tell ’em! They’ve been in the ring with the definition of a true tag team! The Day Ones! They the ones! Right now! JIMMY! JEY! THE UUUUUSOOOOS~! That’s pressure! Woods says, “Do not speak to us like you know what pressure is. Pressure is sitting in catering week to week not knowing if you’re getting fired. Pressure is building an entire YouTube channel outside of this company just to make sure you get noticed at work! Pressure, pressure, is putting together the most important three man group to ever step foot in wrestling and coming in and getting booed for it! Don’t you DARE talk to us about pressure!”
Fans fire up as things are getting heated. Fans chant, “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” and Woods says, “You hear that? They know about the pressure because these people know, every single one of them knows, that that pressure turned us into diamonds!” Diamonds, huh? Talking about diamonds that used to be in the crown, King Woods? The crown that Jey stomped to the ground? The real kings have the crowns now. On their shoulders! And Kofi… If the Usos never forfeited that match, there never would’ve been no KofiMania! They gave him that! His kids got in the ring with him, so he’s welcome! Matter of fact, don’t even show up. Stay home with the kids to let the Usos do what they do.
Kofi says, “Stay with my kids? What kind of father would I be if I went home and tell them I forfeited this match to you?” Kofi says the Usos don’t understand what this means to them. To the Usos, it’s just another check mark in a box. But this is more. That represents a time when they were saddled with the gimmick of being positivity preaching preachers. No one should’ve been able to overcome that, but they did! It represents a time when they came to work, clawing and scratching and fighting as hard as they could to get some semblance of success, all to be told by everyone that they sucked! It represents a time that may very well be the last time that the New Day was whole. And they elevated the Usos in the process, so they will NOT forfeit the record to the Usos!
“Bro…!” Matt Riddle makes his way out? Riddle apologizes for interrupting, but he saw the New Day and just had to come out. “So Woods, me and Elias are kind of forming a band, and we could really-” Jey tells Riddle to shut up. Whoa, guys, c’mon. When Riddle gets wild, he just likes to sit back, relax and hit the bong…os. Bongos. Wanna hit them? Woods would love to. Tap. Does Kofi wanna hit them? Tap. C’mon, Bloodline, what about you? Wanna hit it? Solo stares at Riddle but Riddle says okay, strong silent type. What about Jimmy? Riddle plays shave and a haircut, Jimmy gives him two bits! YEAH~!
But then Jimmy really gets into it! Riddle says he knows the rules! Tap tap, pass. Don’t bogart. But c’mon, Jey. A certain someone has been saying he hasn’t been so… “UCEY! UCEY!” Jey SLAPS the bongos! No man slaps the bongs! YEET! Riddle can do math! Three and three, YEET, so let’s have a SIX MAN! YEET~! Fans fire up for that. And why is that? Cuz “NEW! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS!” The challenge has been made, and it seems it has been accepted! Will #BroDay be hitting more than just the bongos?

Raw returns and JBL has the mic. “From the Budokan to the O2. From the Staples Center to Madison Square Garden. I have sold out every great arena on God’s green earth. And when you talk about great arenas, this isn’t one of ’em! I don’t know what idiot would book me here. But that’s besides the point, because for the rest of your lives, this will be the greatest moment you’ve ever had! So I want everybody to get up, stand up on your Philadelphia Phillies World Series LOSINGÂ to Texas feet! Put your snowflake, chubby little woke hands together, and clap for the man who is gonna save this business, the Modern Day Wrestling God… BARON CORBIN!”

WWE United States Championship Open Challenge: Seth Rollins VS ???
The Visionary has Wilkes-Barre singing his song, “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” as he’s here to put his title on the line against whoever wants it! Rollins gets the mic as fans sing, and he says, “Ohh yeeeeah~! Ladies and gentlemen of the fine state of Pennsylvania, welcome to Monday Night Rollins!” He hears them singing again, “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” and he smiles. “Now, I could sit here and all night and be serenaded by your beautiful voices, but we’ve got some business to attend to. Because tonight is a very special edition of Monday Night Rollins, because back by popular demand, right here, right now, is the United States Championship OPEN CHALLENGE!!”
And the JUDGMENT DAY walks out?! Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley all head to the ring! They’re also victorious at Crown Jewel against The OC, largely in part because of Rhea’s involvement. The Judgment Day flank the ring, and then Finn steps into the ring with a mic. Finn says, “I’ve got a bone to pick with you. A couple years back, you cost me gold. So tonight, I’m gonna cost you gold. So as far as your open challenge for the United States Championship goes-” The OC heads out here?! AJ Styles, Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows throw up the Too Sweet, and they’re going to the ring!
Dom & Priest back Finn up as Styles and the Good Brothers step in. Finn tells them all to leave, but Rollins is intrigued. He steps back and out of the ring, letting these trios stare down. Styles brings out a mic to say, “This, between the OC and the Judgment Day. It’s far from over.” Finn tells Styles that the only thing that is over is the Judgment Day! Get it? The Club, the OC, it’s all old news. So as far as Finn’s concerned, they can- “That’s the problem! It’s always been the three of us against the four of you.” Rhea waves hi, and Styles says Crown Jewel was no different. They tried to find someone to take care of the Rhea problem, and still haven’t found that someone.
Rhea says that’s cuz no one likes the OC. But see, that someone found them! And Rhea gets CLOBBERED, by MIA YIM!!! The Head Baddie is back in the WWE! And then the OC attack the Judgment Day! Things are even as Styles stomps Dom, Karl rocks Finn, and Gallows CLUBS Priest! Mia has a kendo stick and she SMACKS Rhea around! Priest knees Gallows but Gallows TACKLES Priest over the desk! Yim TOSSES Rhea over barriers! Styles TOSSES Dom, Finn LARIATS Karl! And that just leaves Prince and Phenomenal One! Fans fire up as the jackets come off, and the leaders throw hands!
Styles gets the edge, whips, but Finn ducks ‘n’ dodges and bails out! Fans boo but Karl SMACKS Finn off the apron! Dom leaps in, but into the STYLES CLASH!! Finn drags Dom out before it gets worse, but Yim joins the Good Brothers in the ring! Will this be the solution to the Rhea problem?
Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.
Cathy Kelley says we all just saw what happened, so what does this mean for the open challenge? Rollins says things got a little too intense out there. That was none of his business so he had to get gone. But as for the challenge, he made a promise! Tonight, we will see an Open Challenge! We’ll see who answers the call. Better not be Cathy! HAHAHAHA! But then, who will step up to go after Rollins’ gold later tonight?
Elias VS Otis w/ Chad Gable!
The Drifter helped The Bro get one over on The Alpha Academy during the Trick or Street Fight, but now the tree trunk wants payback! Will Master Gable’s Number One Guy win one #ForTheAcademy? Or will Elias be the one to SHOOOOSH Otis & Gable?
The bell rings and Elias circles with Otis. They tie up, Otis shoves him away and says, “Pure power, baby!” Elias shrugs that off, ties up with Otis again and gets around to a headlock. Otis powers out and runs Elias right over! Elias hurries up and Gable applauds. Elias gets around Otis again, CHOPS, and CHOPS, and whips, but Otis blocks! Otis reverse to scoop, but Elias slips off to- NOPE, can’t scoop Otis! Otis HEADBUTTS Elias, then CLUBS Elias to a corner. Otis throws heavy shots, then whips Elias to ropes. Elias ducks ‘n’ dodges and SCOOPS! But he falls over! Otis is too heavy and Elias is sputtering.
Gable tells fans to “SHOOSH!” and Otis runs to ELBOW DROP! Otis clamps on the claws into the shoulders. Gable that’s the grip he taught Otis. “How’s that feel, Elias? You idiot!” Fans rally up, Elias stands, but Otis shoves him to a corner. Otis runs in, but Elias dodges and POSTS Otis! Otis staggers out, into a JUMP KNEE! Otis still staggers around, into another JUMP KNEE! Cover, TWO!! Otis stays in this but Elias goes to the apron. Elias climbs up top, but Gable distracts! Elias FLYING KNEES Gable down! But Otis CLOBBERS Elias from behind! Otis scoops for the WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM! Cover, Otis wins!
Winner: Otis, by pinfall
Master Gable gave Otis the greatest assist, and now Otis has a big win! Will this allow the Academy to move on? Or will they still Walk With Elias?
Backstage interview with The Judgment Day.
Byron Saxton says it seems The OC has a solution to the Rhea problem. Finn says no! They haven’t discovered anything! Only more problems! Now, they’ve got eight- no, 16- NO! They’ve got 99 problems and they don’t have a single solution! They solved nothing! Priest says what happens today and tomorrow will be the same: The OC will fall while the Judgment Day will rise! Dom says, “They think they found someone who can take on Mami? NUH-UH! NO!” Rhea says she’s got this. The OC thinks they can just bring anyone in to fix their problem. Bring in Mia Yim. Bring in an army and see if she cares! She cannot be stopped. Now get out of their face.
Byron leaves and the Judgment Day continues on. Then Rhea crosses paths with Bianca Belair. Rhea says, “Champ.” Bianca nods, but heads on. Mia being a solution or not, does Rhea have a problem of her own to solve?
Bianca Belair heads to the ring!
And she’s not alone, as she has Asuka and Alexa Bliss by her side! The RawEST Women’s Champion was the Last Woman Standing, but #TwistedMist lost their titles thanks to a chaotic assist from Nikki Cross. Their was a confrontation before the show in the parking lot, but Bianca has a mic now to say, “Look, y’all. I am proud to be standing here the Last Woman Standing and still your Raw Women’s Champion. But Crown Jewel didn’t all go according to plan. And y’all all saw what happened earlier, so y’all already know this is far from being over with.
“So Damage Control, we got something to say that we think you’d like to hear. And since y’all wanted to act so tough in the parking lot earlier, why don’t you come out here right here, right now, so we can say it to your face.” And so, Damage Control appears! Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky have mics, and Kai says, “Bianca, Bianca, Bianca. Nobody gives a damn that you were the Last Woman Standing. But the way we see it, is you still haven’t even beaten Bayley. But she’s beaten you twice! HAHA! Hey, hey, Iyo. Speaking of which, how many times have we won these titles?” “Twice!” DMG CTRL gets in the ring to stare Bianca, Asuka & Alexa down.
“And who did we beat to get them?” “Alexa and Asuka.” Alexa isn’t sure what they were watching, because she & Asuka had them the entire time. The only reason they won is cuz of Nikki Cross, so why’re they bragging? Asuka tells DMG CTRL off in Japanese, but Sky responds in kind. Asuka mocks Sky for only now using Japanese. Sky says Asuka can ONLY Japanese! They’re arguing more and more, and Asuka says Sky is a “BAKA BAKA BAAAAK~!” AKA a DUMMY!! Sky pretends not to hear Asuka but fans cheer Asuka on. Sky just uses, “BITCH!” Asuka URAKENS Sky for that! And the brawl is on!
Bayley is after Alexa, Bianca has Kai, and of course Asuka stomps away on Sky! Sky and Kai bail out, Bayley follows, and DMG CTRL regroups. Bianca says they didn’t let her finish. This ain’t a fight or a match, this is war! “And this is ending… at WARGAMES!!” But then NIKKI CROSS attacks!! Bianca is down, DMG CTRL goes after Asuka and Alexa! Kai & Sky feed Bianca to Nikki’s HEADBUTT! And then Bayley hits ROSE PLANT! Nikki CLOBBERS Asuka! Bayley likes what she sees out of crazy Nikki Cross but fans boo. Nikki aims at Alexa, and SPLASHES her in the corner! Kai & Sky POST Asuka! Nikki hits Alexa with the DRAPING NECKBREAKER!
Fans boo but DMG CTRL and Nikki stand tall. Bayley says, “See you at WarGames, Bianca.” Is Nikki going to be a wild card in that match? Will Bianca be able to find a fourth to even things up?
Shelton Benjamin VS Austin Theory!
Once upon a time, the Gold Standard had a bright future, and was himself a young United States Champion. But Mr. All Day continues to rub it in everyone’s face that he is THE Youngest United States Champion in WWE history, THE Youngest Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history, and as far as he’s concerned, the future of the WWE. Will Theory prove that’s more than just opinion? Or will Benjamin show Theory will be the youngest flavor of the month ever?
The bell rings, they approach, and Theory slides past Benjamin. Theory taunts Benjamin, but then Benjamin trips Theory! Theory gest up, swings but into a waistlock and SLAM! Benjamin holds on, Theory gets to ropes, and the ref calls the ropebreak. Benjamin lets off but Theory elbows him away! The ref reprimands, but Benjamin ROCKS Theory with a right hand! Benjamin whips corner to corner, runs in but Theory drop toeholds him into buckles! Benjamin staggers, into the SOMERSAULT SHOTGUN! Theory rains down fists on Benjamin, then talks trash! Theory drags Benjamin up but Benjamin blocks the buckle bumps.
Benjamin throws elbows and haymakers, Theory gives them back, but Benjamin counter punches! Benjamin kicks, punches, whips but Theory reverses to LARIAT! Fans boo but Theory snarls as he snapmares Benjamin, “That’s all day!” But Benjamin avoids the stomp to roll Theory up! TWO, into an ANKLE LOCK! Benjamin reminds everyone he was Team Angle, but Theory rolls and boots Benjamin away. Benjamin comes back, misses, and Theory fireman’s carries! Benjamin slips off to GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Benjamin runs in at the corner, STEP-UP KNEE! Theory wobbles, Benjamin whips but Theory blocks
Theory ROCKS Benjamin but fans rally. Benjamin throws Theory out but Theory HOTSHOTS Benjamin! Theory goes up top, but Benjamin springs up after him! Theory rakes the eyes! Fireman’s carry, A-TOWN DOWN!! Cover, Theory wins!
Winner: Austin Theory, by pinfall
The young blood takes out the experienced icon with a sneaky move! Will Theory use anything and everything to get back up to be the youngest top superstar in WWE history?
Johnny Gargano VS The Miz!
In his WWE Investigates tell-all interview, Johnny Wrestling became Johnny Whistleblower when he revealed the Hollywood A-Lister was exploiting the Tortured Artist, Dexter Lumis. Before the match, Miz gets the mic. “Now before I face that whistleblowing Johnny Weasel tonight, I wanna speak to each and everyone of you with honesty. And I can confirm that without a shadow of a doubt that Johnny Gargano’s interview is completely false! It is a blatant smear job. The evidence is clearly doctored. It is one of the biggest deep fakes I have ever seen! And I can’t believe no one is looking at the sources!
“I have read what people say on the internet. And I can’t stand that I have to defend myself to the media, my friends, everyone besides my own family! And not even that is true! My own FATHER believes Johnny!” Fans cheer for Papa George. Miz says the only silver lining is that his agent’s phone has not stopped ringing. Miz can’t say their name, but he just met with a big Hollywood producer, but she is big time. She wants to tell the real story! The true story! Miz’s story! And a story like this will take time. They need to build Oscar buzz. But Miz has also spoken with his lawyers, and they are moving forward with a defamation suit!
That may be too much already, but Miz’s PR team is working on a formal response, and Miz will just say, Gargano- is making his entrance! “Mike, Mike, man. I’ve always liked your dad. Very smart man.” Fans cheer for George again, and then for Johnny Wrestling. Gargano thanks them for that. But it is because of them chanting for him that Gargano can’t start this match without telling the truth about something he did. That’s right, Gargano needs to blow the whistle on himself! TWEET~! It had to be done. But when Gargano did that interview, he was hoping the public would shame The Miz into telling the truth and paying Lumis. But that didn’t happen.
SO… Gargano realized he needed stronger evidence against The Miz. And well, Gargano did something just a little deceitful to get it. Gargano hired someone! Miz, you know that big Hollywood producer you had dinner with? She was actually a private investigator. And… She was wearing a hidden camera. And… Gargano has the footage! Miz is stunned silent. But luckily for us, Gargano brought a universal remote from home that works on the tron! Let’s watch! It’s in a very artsy black ‘n’ white, maybe the PI is still a director after all. But she told Miz that if he really did pay Lumis to create this drama, then that makes Miz a mastermind. What network wouldn’t want a story that juicy!
Miz likes hearing that big TV networks would want this story. She wouldn’t be here if she didn’t think that. Well, let’s speak off the record then. Anything said here remains at this table. She can be trusted. Well then… Everything Gargano is saying… is true. He orchestrated the whole thing. So he paid Lumis? Yes. Gargano fast-forwards a bit to where Miz was bragging that he saw the perfect opening to boost his career! And it did that! He’s been taking meeting after meeting! It’s been going perfect, until Miz hung Lumis out to dry. Why did he stop? Well things got crazy. Out of control! Corporate was asking questions, the police were asking questions, it got too big.
So Miz had to squash everything. Gratned, He Who Shall Not Be Named did some work. Fast-forward again to Miz saying Lumis shouldn’t have gotten paid. If a project goes under, no one gets paid, right? If anything, Lumis should be thankful for the notoriety. What was Lumis doing a few months ago? NOTHING. Gargano stops the tape and fans go “OOOOH~!” And then Gargano continues his walk to the ring. Can Miz focus on the match with his entire reputation in ruins? We’ll see, after the break.
Raw returns and the bell rings. Miz rushes Gargano but Gargano dodges the lariat! And the boot! And the haymakers! Gargano ROCKS Miz, then eggs him on. They tie up, Miz puts Gargano in a corner but Gargano dodges the chop to CHOP! And CHOP! Miz headlocks, but Gargano powers out to hurdle. Things speed up, Gargano DROPKICKS Miz down! Miz bails out, fans fire up and Gargano goes to the apron to PENALTY KICK! Then he stomps Miz’s hand on the apron! And then CANNONBALLS! Fans fire up with Gargano as the ring count climbs. Gargano returns to Miz at the desk to CHOP him! And CHOP again!

Miz kicks a leg out, but Gargano wrenches and slips around, schoolboy- NO, Miz ducks that kick to BASEMENT DDT! Cover, TWO! Gargano survives, showing why he’s an NXT Triple Crown Champion! Miz snarls, and he KICKS Gargano! And KICKS! And KICKS! Gargano continues to take the It Kicks again and again!

The ring count is climbing, Miz brings Gargano around and puts him in at 5! Miz climbs up but Gargano WRECKS him with a dropkick! And then someone drags Miz under the ring!! Miz scurries out, with a spare crossbar! Miz is claiming there’s someone under there! It has to be HIM, right? Gargano grabs Miz, Miz CRACKS him with the crossbar! Miz drops the bar, hurries in, and covers! MIZ WINS!
Winner: The Miz, by pinfall
That was all an act!! Just like the “stalking” from Lumis, Miz fakes a crisis to get the spotlight! If Miz really is a mastermind, will he find a way to get away with everything? WAIT! Lumis SMACKS Miz with a chair! And this time, it’s the REAL Lumis! Lumis takes a seat next to Miz, then hurries away as security rushes out here! Fans cheer Lumis on! Will true justice be served?
DMG CTRL talks with Nikki Cross.
Kai says they’re so happy Nikki saw that they’re her friends, not her enemies. Because after she attacked them, DMG CTRL was ready to end her. But then it dawned on them, she’s like them! Lost and forgotten, but not by them. And at Survivor Series, they’ll unleash all that pent up rage and aggression inside WarGames. Sky agrees. Nikki will destroy Dana Brooke, too. And don’t think Nikki has to wait for WarGames. Let it all out tonight! Nikki lets out a maniacal laugh, and says, “Time to play.” Will Nikki be just the thing DMG CTRL needs to truly take over?
WWE 24/7 Championship: Dana Brooke VS Nikki Cross w/ DMG CTRL!
The Flex Appeal has been safe with this title in the background of Bianca VS Bayley and Kai & Sky VS Asuka & Alexa. But now, her reign may be in danger as Nikki brings back her wild side. Will Nikki’s time finally come? Or can Dana manage to survive the madness?
The introductions are made, the title is raised, and we see if DMG CTRL takes over another division!
The bell rings and fans rally while Nikki pulls at her hair. Bayley is on commentary as Nikki fires up and CLOBBERS Dana! Nikki throws hands, then SPLASHES Dana in the corner! Nikki stomps away, lets off at 4, and then CROSS CHOPS Dana! Nikki fishhooks Dana’s face then wraps on a straitjacket stretch. Nikki thrashes Dana around but Dana endures. Nikki chuckles in Dana’s ear, sits her up, but Dana fights up. Dana powers up and arm-drags free, then hurries to a corner. Nikki runs in but into an elbow! And then a BOOT! And then just buckles! Dana fires off on Nikki in return! The ref counts, Dana stomps, but she lets off at 4.
Dana brings Nikki up but Nikki stops the bulldog to throw Dana by her hair! Bayley says no one understands. There’s more than meets the eye with DMG CTRL. Nikki thrashes and dribbles Dana off the mat! Dana gets away to ropes but Nikki CHOKES her! And thrashes her more! The ref backs Nikki off but then Nikki RAMS into Dana! And then the ANARCHY NECKBREAKER! Cover, Nikki wins!
Winner: Nikki Cross, by pinfall (NEW WWE 24/7 Champion)
DMG CTRL celebrates with Nikki, that’s one more belt under their power! Nikki makes four, but with WarGames being about 5v5, who will join up to take down Team Bianca? And who will Bianca get to balance things out?
DMG CTRL regroups backstage.
Nikki is all smiles as she has the title, but then she goes and drops it in the trash. Guess it was just the principle of the win, not the prize, that mattered to her. Will we ever see that title again?
Backstage interview with The OC and Mia Yim.
Byron is with the new foursome as they finally solved the Rhea problem. How does it feel to finally have the upper hand? Styles says it feels good to give Judgment Day some payback! This time, it was 4v4. And they couldn’t have done it without Mia Yim. Karl says they needed a #Rhealution. They needed the toughest woman in the building! Gallows says, “And who else would we get but the Head Baddie In Charge herself, Mia Yim?” Mia says thanks. But that was just a sample. “We’ll see how tough Rhea really is against someone who can hit her back.” Gallows says the OC is gonna celebrate! Karl-san has the tab, he owes them.
Mia says no, it’s on her! Well even better! The Good Brothers head out, Styles warns her that those boy shave a high tolerance, but she says it’s all good. Will the HBIC and OC finally get one over on the JD?
WWE United States Championship Open Challenge: Seth Rollins VS ???
Okay, let’s try this again. The Visionary is willing to be a fighting champion, and though some great choices presented themselves earlier, Styles and Finn got in each other’s way. Rollins again gets the mic to say, “Now where were we? Oh yeah, that’s right. Before I was so rudely interrupted, we were about to have ourselves a United States Championship match! I made a promise to you all, and I intend to keep it. But do you guys know that this month marks ten YEARS of Seth Rollins in WWE?” Fans cheer that! “Thank You, Seth!” “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!”
Rollins says, “And what a ride it has been, ladies and gentlemen. You guys have been with me through it all. All the highs, all the lows, the ups, the downs, the wins, the losses. And all the championships! HAHAHA!” Fans again chant, “Thank You, Rollins!” But he will say, this US title here means a lot to him, because before he beat Bobby Lashley, it had been far too long since Seth Freakin’ Rollins had held gold in the WWE. But in just a few short weeks, Rollins has made this title THE title to have here on Raw! Fans cheer that! “OH~ OHH~ OHHH~!” “You Deserve It!”
Rollins says time to get to business. “Y’all ready for an open challenge? Well let’s see who wants to take a shot! Whoever wants a piece at my title, come on down here! But be ready for a fight, because I ain’t giving up so easily! Because I am a Visionary! I am a Revolutionary! I am… Seth!” “FREAKIN’ ROLLINS!” But Mustafa Ali is on the tron! “Seth Freakin’ Rollins! And an open challenge? Seriously? Listen, you don’t have to look any further. Because I’m gonna be the-” someone takes out Ali!? But who?! BOBBY LASHLEY!!
“Seth, Ali’s not gonna accept your challenge. There’s two reasons I don’t have my United States Championship. One, because of Brock Lesnar. And last weekend at Crown Jewel, I made him pay by whooping his ass all over the ring. And two, because of you, Seth Freakin’ Rollins. So I’ll be coming to that ring right now to make you-” ALI ATTACKS BACK! But he gets TOSSED away! “As I was saying… I accept your challenge.” The All Mighty’s wrath has awoken, will it be what burns Rollins down? We’ll see, after the break!
Raw returns as Lashley makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the All Mighty avenges himself!
But then Lashley CLOBBERS Rollins before any bell! Payback for what happened to him the last few weeks! Lashley drags Rollins up to RAM him into barriers! And then again! And then again! And again! And again! The LEDs are breaking! Rollins scrambles away to get his jacket off but Lashley whips him into more barriers! Lashley stands Rollins up to fire off furious fists, and then he puts Rollins in the ring. Rollins bails out because he needs to recover, but Lashley goes back out after him! Lashley gets a running start, but Rollins SUPERKICKS him first! Rollins RAMS Lashley into steel steps!
Fans fire up as Rollins drags Lashley up and brings him around. Rollins underhooks, but Lashley back drops free! Rollins flounders, Lashley rains down furious fists! Lashley CHOKES Rollins, fans boo, the ref, more refs, and even security rush in to stop Lashley! Rollins gets up and runs in, into a COMPLETE SHOT to the floor! Lashley doesn’t care about the match anymore, he RAMS Rollins into more barriers! Lashley fireman’s carries, and he POSTS Rollins! Lashley shoves people aside to clear off the desk! Fans are torn over the savagery, but the refs tell Lashley to stop. Lashley doesn’t stop, he gives Rollins a MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER through the desk!!
Fans lose their minds while Rollins is down in the wreckage! Adam Pearce rushes out to tell Lashley to stop! Rollins writhes but it takes everyone to stand in Lashley’s way to make him to stop. Lashley goes up the ramp, and another open challenge attempt is ruined! Wait, Theory is creeping out here now. What’s this about? The fans boo even more as Theory grins. What is Mr. MITB going to do? Guess we’ll see, after the break.
Raw returns and…
Rollins is still down in the wreckage of the announce desk, clutching his back. And Theory is still lurking around ringside like a vulture. The medics check with Rollins, he isn’t sure what exactly hurts, it just hurts. And then Theory says “CASH IT IN!!” WHAT?! The MITB briefcase, for the US title?! The announcement is made as Theory throws Rollins into the ring!! A ref follows them, and this is happening!! Rollins is on noodle legs but he seems okay to compete, so here we go!!
WWE United States Championship Money in the Bank Cash-In: Seth Rollins VS Austin Theory!
The bell rings, Theory DECKS Rollins!! Cover, TWO!?!? Rollins is still in this and Theory is shocked! But he drags Rollins up, fisherman to the AOI SHOUDO!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Again?!? Theory is fuming already as he drags Rollins back up! Fireman’s carry, for A TOWN- NO! Rollins slips out, underhooks, but Theory kicks free! And he steals PEDIGREE!!! Cover, TWO!??!!??! Just what is Rollins made of that he’s still in this match?!? Theory is beside himself, losing his mind, and he drags Rollins up by his bleach blonde hair. Fireman’s carry, for the- NO, Rollins slips free with an eye rake! He dodges Theory to POST him!
Theory rushes in, Rollins dodges again, and then he dumps Theory out! Rollins flounders with the bad back while Theory flounders back to the apron. Theory somersaults, into a POWERBOMB!! Rollins SUPERKICKS Theory, then ROCKS him! Turn and DREAM SMASHER!! Both men are down!! Rollins flounders to a corner, drags himself up and takes aim, but runs into a fireman’s carry!! A TOWN DOWN!!!! Cover, LASHLEY drags the ref out?!? Lashley won’t let Rollins win but he won’t let him lose?!? Theory shouts at Lashley that he’s ruining it! Lashley drags Theory out to RAM Theory into the barrier!
Lashley rains down fists on Theory, his wrath knowing no bounds! He lifts Theory to POST him!! And then he RAMS Theory into barriers again! And then fireman’s carries, to POST Theory again!! HURT LOCK on Theory!! Theory is turning red! He’s passing out!! Lashley finally lets Theory go, fans are thunderous, and then Lashley just leaves! What is going to happen to this title match now?! The ref wakes back up, he sees Theory is down and starts a ring count. Fans count along and Theory sputters. Theory’s eyes are open but no one is home at 5 of 10. Then 8! 9! Theory springs in at 9.99!! INTO A CURB STOMP!!! Rollins has to flounder to the cover! ROLLINS WINS!!
Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall (still WWE United States Champion)
The Visionary almost lost, but then still kept, this title, and all because of Lashley! The All Mighty giveth, but will he come to take this title away when it best suits him?
My Thoughts:
Well this was a wild night. It’s hard to make heads or tails of some choices, but I definitely would never have seen these things coming. For one, the Raw Women’s Division was on fire tonight. Good promos from DMG CTRL and Team Bianca, especially Asuka and Iyo getting at each other. And of course Nikki Cross gets involved again. The Women’s WarGames match is made for Survivor Series, and we’re basically getting the traditional 5v5 Survivor Series match inside the double cage. If Nikki’s joining DMG CTRL, I would hope Piper Niven also joins in since she teamed with Nikki, and has her own reason to want to “take control,” ditching the Doudrop name so she can be herself.
Either way, I would think Candice LeRae joins Team Bianca since she also got beat down by DMG CTRL. And then as the “surprise” fifth, it’ll be Becky Lynch making her return because she was also beat up by DMG CTRL. If that’s the match, that’ll be some awesome stuff. Of course, Dana Brooke could be teased as a possibility after Nikki Cross took the 24/7 title off her, but maybe Dana will be taken out, and just as things look bad for Team Bianca, Becky joins in. And then, regardless of which side wins, I would love if Sasha Banks & Naomi make their return so they can go after Kai & Sky and those tag titles.
Also, Nikki literally throwing that title away, I guess that ends the 24/7 Championship experiment. It was a lot of fun at the start, but sadly tired itself out near the end of Vince’s tenure. They only ever had it as a comedy title when they could’ve found ways to make it serious, but now it doesn’t matter, that’s in the past. R-Truth will go down as the best 24/7, 7-11, 747, I-95 South, European Television Champion ever. The sad thing is, he’s hurt right now, so he can’t even go find his baby in the trash right now. I hope we do see something about that through social media, though.
The US Championship also had a wild night. First, I thought we were getting Rollins VS Finn, or even a Triple Threat that added Styles. That would’ve been an awesome match, but the feud of Judgment Day and OC takes priority for Finn and Styles. Mia Yim being the counter to Rhea was quite the surprise, but Mia makes sense as another person Vince’s regime let go that HHH wanted to make big. Mia VS Rhea is going to be awesome and will help bide time until we can get Rhea VS Beth. Then I hope we get Styles VS Finn, and Good Brothers VS Dom & Damian. Best two outta three in that series for Survivor Series could be a fun way to end that feud, with all the pressure being on Styles VS Finn as the tiebreaker.
But then the US title stuff kept going. Ali calling out Rollins only for Lashley to manhandle him was a great little surprise, and then it was wild that Lashley didn’t even care about facing Rollins in the match, he just beat the hell out of him because he could. And then Theory, after already beating Benjamin with some cheating, decides to use some kind of loophole to cash-in on the US title when the MITB contract has always been about the top title(s). He did tease that he was thinking of the NXT Championship around Halloween Havoc, so I guess that planted the seed that the contract is now for any title.
But then what a strange move for Lashley to then help Rollins win. I suppose now, Lashley can rub that in Rollins’ face. Lashley will want a title match because he single-handedly determined Rollins’ fate. Lashley VS Rollins in an actual match will be quite an awesome match, and it’d be a great win for Rollins. This is still going towards my thoughts that Cody Rhodes’ return will eventually be all about the US title because it’s on Rollins, but to think Rollins might be a Face by then with Lashley going this hard as a Heel.
Seeing Cedric Alexander in a match on TV was good for him, but sadly, he was jobbed out to Corbin. At least JBL kept it short and, well, not sweet, but I guess sour. Less is better for JBL running down the “woke snowflake Millennial/Gen Z” fans per this “cranky Attitude Era Boomer” persona he’s using. Otherwise, he’s running the risk of being Dan Lambert’s AEW character but with a Texas accent. I don’t know who Corbin is going to be in a prolonged feud for with this character, unless there’s someone who can kinda take JBL’s words and spin it, showing that Corbin wouldn’t survive in the Attitude Era, but his opponent would.
I really like what we got out of this Miz story. Gargano’s promo was good, as was the plot twist of the PI recording Miz and using his own words against him. Gargano VS Miz was an awesome match, and Miz had a very clever way of crying wolf, or in this case, crying Lumis. But then the real Lumis of course got Miz back for it. At this point, they’ve got to give us that match they teased of Miz VS Lumis, and if Lumis wins, he’ll get a WWE contract. And maybe even the rest he was owed by The Miz, since the money is all kayfabe anyway. Then after that, we can move this into Mixed Tag territory, the It Couple VS #InDex as part of Indi’s call-up finally happening.
Elias VS Otis was good stuff, but of course Gable distracts so Otis can win. I feel like this is leading to Elias admitting he needs Riddle to at least watch his back against the Academy, and then we get a tag match blow-off. But of course, we got great stuff out of The Bloodline. The Men’s WarGames hasn’t been decided yet, but it has to be about The Bloodline working together against another team of five. We got just awesome promos from Usos and New Day to hype their history defining tag match this Friday, but Riddle sure felt outta place joining in. But at the same time, the bongos pun continues to be pretty fun. That Six Man was great stuff, too, but it makes sense Riddle takes the loss to Solo so that the tag title match has pretty even go-home math. Even so, I feel like the Usos retain to take that number one spot in the WWE history books.
My Score: 8.5/10

Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?

And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?

Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived!

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?

Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again!

Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

Komander kicks back but Rocky CHOPS Komander again. Komander flounders along ropes, but Rocky has him again. Komander turns things around to CHOP back! The fans and Abrahantes fires up as Komander fires off CHOPS and KICKS! The ref counts, Komander lets off, but Rocky sucker punches him! Rocky has Komander in the corner now, hoists him up again, but then traps him on the top rope by lacing the legs!
Komander flails while Rocky gets space. Rocky runs up to TOP SHELF KNEE! Komander falls in a heap, but Rocky wants us to watch. Sliding pose! Rocky goes back for Komander but Komander kicks at him. Rocky brings Komander up to CLUB him down. Rocky then stalks Komander, CLUBS him again, and stalks him to ropes. Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low!

TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again.

Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
